Just within the last year, Fisher gave birth to a baby girl, notched her first win as a team owner and earned a prestigious honor from the racing world as the Professional MotorSport World Expo’s Team Principal of the Year.
Few things are more important to Fisher than IndyCar, but family and friends trump the sport, and when her dear friend and team member, Carey Hall, was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, Fisher stepped into action.
Racing has always been a family affair for Fisher.
“I think I was interested way before I even came out into the world. My family was really into racing the sprint cars and midgets and those kind of cars, so I was born into the lifestyle,” Fisher said.
Fisher proved herself early, becoming well-known in a sport dominated by men. She was named most popular IndyCar driver in three consecutive years from 2001 to 2003.
